Note 6

-October 17, 2230

 

 

White marble and the vitalizing smell of chemicals.

 

Our light and evenly coloured avenue, straight and decisive, reaches the distant horizon.

 

And all without trying.

 

The clear autumn sky, sterile and wonderful is well fitting our day of celebration, is it not!

 

In front, rows upon rows of men glowing with pride and dressed as myself, (why do I waste paper on the axiomatic….) move swiftly and evenly along to the beat, oh so evenly...

 

And arms move out and up on every beat.

 

For our jubilee has come, and a hundred years have passed since the necessary (and by them voluntary!) extermination of citizengroup 3.

 

Oh, whoever might read this joyous note of mine, what a day to be!
